Hello And Welcome To Day 2 Action
On a fascinating day of Test cricket at Ranchi's JSCA International Stadium, a visiting 19-year-old spinner toyed with the Indian batters, probably the best players of spin in the world, to register figures of 4/84 in an unbroken spell of 32 overs. For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal top scored with a well-compiled 73 off 117 balls even as Shoaib Bashir threatened to run over the Indian line-up. Then, an undefeated eight-wicket stand of 42 runs between Dhruv Jurel (30 off 58) and Kuldeep Yadav (17 off 72) halted England's charge. India lead the five-match series 2-1.

Akash Deep Dedicated His Bowling Spell To His Late Father
I dedicate this to my father because it was his dream that his son does something in life. I couldn't do anything in his life (when he was alive), so this performance is for my father.
"Every cricketer has one dream, to play for India in Tests. That was also my dream," said the Bengal pacer who hails from Baddi village in Rohtas district of Bihar, about 300km from Ranchi.
Play Starts
Players are out in the middle. Ollie Robinson, on 31 off 60, will face Mohammed Siraj with Joe Root, unbeaten on 106 off 226, at the non-striker's end. India happy with the old ball. And 'Jerusalem' rings out...

New Ball Taken
Poor start from Mohammed Siraj. Down the leg and Ollie Robinson flicks it for a four. A dot, and India are done with the old ball. The new ball is taken.
England - 306/7 (90.2)
